Assassins

Book by John Weidman, Music by Stephen Sondheim, Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim

Based on an idea by Charles Gilbert, Jr.

This most American of musicals lays bare the lives of nine individuals who assassinated or tried to assassinate the President of the United States. From John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald, Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman bend the rules of time and space, taking us on a nightmarish roller coaster ride in which assassins and would-be assassins from different historical periods meet, interact and, in an intense final scene, inspire each other to commit harrowing acts in the name of the American Dream.
